The purpose of the 2024 Arkansas State Health Assessment (SHA) is to provide comprehensive data on the health of Arkansans including diseases, conditions, deaths, and risk factors contributing to poor health outcomes and shortening of life expectancy. The Scorecard presents multiple years data trends in graphic format. The Scorecard is the scientific basis for planning and implementation of Arkansas State Health Improvement Plan and the ADH Strategic Plan, which serve as blueprint for actions to be taken to address the issues identified in the SHA. The scorecard is updated regularly to demonstrate changes that may occur in the health of Arkansans at present and in future.
